CVE ID :CVE-2026-33649
Published : March 23, 2026, 6:26 p.m. | 36 minutes ago
Description :WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `plugin/Permissions/setPermission.json.php` endpoint accepts GET parameters for a state-changing operation that modifies user group permissions. The endpoint has no CSRF token validation, and the application explicitly sets `session.cookie_samesite=None` on session cookies. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a page with `` tags that, when visited by an admin, silently grant arbitrary permissions to the attacker's user group — escalating the attacker to near-admin access. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.
Severity: 0.0 | NA
